Spring weather!

Spring has finally arrived.  Yesterday was lovely out with blue skies and warm temperatures. We did some yard work - put more lime on the grass and B put liquid feed on most of the shrubs. Last night we went to a party to celebrate Bernie's nephew's marriage. Great time, tasty food and it was good to see so many of the family.

This morning we were again working outside. B finished up the plants and I washed the inside of the car windows as B did the outside. After a trip to Penney's for a great sale and a stop at Sam's for some stuff for dinner, we headed home. Sam's was offering tastes of various items so we filled up there! Right now I'm upstairs in my office. I just finished a craft project and am now finally posting.

As I get back into blogging, I'm thinking about layout.... some blogs post pictures with the explanation about them below the pictures. This seems awkward to me as you scroll down in a blog and see the picture before the text. I'm going to explain first and then show the picture - that way you know about what you are going to see.

This past Thursday, while Honey and I were out and about, B took a picture of us. I'm really appreciating how the pruning of the trees has made walking out in the area easier. No more walking into a branch. B had placed motion lights on several of the trees so when I'm out at night it's easier to see. Even with a flashlight it's dark out there. The grass is greening up and the second application of lime should help.

We are fortunate that many of the trees and shrubs are doing well. This lovely weeping  tree (think it's a cherry type tree) is starting to bloom. Several rather large bumble bees were buzzing in and out of the tree so I didn't venture too close when I was taking pictures this morning. At this point, it's the only tree starting to bloom.
